In North Carolina's eclectic town, htere are countless stories of ghosts roaming the Grove Park Inn(esp. the infamous Pink Lady) and other locations. There's a book out about all the reported hauntings in Asheville by Joshua P. Warren. "Haunted Asheville" is worth a read, and one of the things other than personal experience that got me into ghosts. (Shadowbox Publications)
When we visited there, I really wanted to hang around till night, but time permitted that we couldn't. Aw well, always next time!

Praised by Barack Obama as a model for the world, Australia's highly unpopular carbon tax, set to take effect from July 1st, is set to be policed by laws which forbid business owners from criticizing it for causing price rises – with thought criminals who do so under threat of being hit with huge fines of over $1 million dollars.
"SHOPS and restaurants could face fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact," reports the Daily Telegraph.
According to ACCC deputy chairman Dr Michael Schaper, the warning applies, "to comments made by staff over the phone, on the shop floor or in meetings. It also covers advertising, product labels, websites, invoices, contracts and contract negotiations."
This draconian measure will be enforced by teams of "carbon cops" who roam the streets conducting snap inspections of businesses to ensure they are not making any reference to the tax.
The characterization of dissent against the carbon tax as a criminal offense exemplifies how the measure passed last year goes way beyond merely forcing Australia's top 500 companies to pay an extra $23.78 per each tonne of CO2 emitted. The system will be rolled into a carbon trading system by 2015.
Not only will Australians be whacked with price rises on everything from energy to food, small business owners will also be intimidated into silence when they are forced to pay out more for key supplies. Energy prices across the country have already been skyrocketing over the course of the last year.
After the carbon tax bill passed Australia's federal parliament last year, the government set about "trying to erase any dissent against the jobs-destroying legislation," wrote Miranda Devine.
"It's all very Orwellian: the tax whose name cannot be spoken. We are already paying for the climate-change hysteria that has gripped Australia for a decade."
"But no matter how Orwellian the tactics, no matter how many carbon cops are sent into hairdressing salons to interrogate barbers on the precise nature of their price rises, the truth remains: Australia has gone out on a limb, imposing a carbon tax that will send businesses to the wall, cause undue hardship to families, and tether Australians more tightly to government handouts."
"And soon, we will send billions of dollars overseas to buy useless pieces of paper called carbon credits. Investment bankers, lawyers and carbon traders will get rich, as will all the usual spivs and scam artists ready to stick a bucket under the government spigot raining taxpayer cash."
Although Barack Obama has largely been forced to abandon a carbon tax for Americans, instead targeting coal-fired power plants via EPA mandates, last year he praised the Australian system as being "good for the world."
As we have documented, the entire carbon tax scam is a monumental fraud which does nothing to help the environment even if you believe in climate change hysteria, in that its primary purpose is to line the pockets of 'carbon billionaires' like Al Gore and Maurice Strong.
Obama's support for Australia's carbon tax is unsurprising given the fact that he was "instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange" via millions of dollars in donations from the Joyce Foundation, with whom Obama served as a director.
Carbon trading schemes are directly connected to people in third world nations like Honduras and Uganda being brutally evicted from their land and in some cases slaughtered in cold blood. Western companies make billions from seizing land and using it to grow trees in return for lucrative carbon credits which are then sold to companies under carbon tax schemes like the one passed in Australia.

Review: Gamer is a Blast
What if the video games people play were real? What if the reality TV craze goes to the next level and we watch people die instead of sleep around? What if society becomes so connected and intertwined that we lose all semblance of what it is to be human? And what if two guys slapped all of the above in a movie, threw in a ton of sex and violence, and delivered what may be one of the more entertaining action flicks of the summer? Welcome to Gamer, the latest big action movie from Neveldine / Taylor that will blow you away in terms of visual style, non-stop action, and an interesting (but not too complex) story of where we could be going.
In the near future, the most popular show on the planet is "Slayers," where criminals are played by the highest bidder in a shoot 'em up Game where the guns, explosives, and bloody deaths are real. If the player / criminal can survive through 30 games, they're set free with a full pardon from the government. Kable (Gerard Butler) is about to survive his 30th Game until he gets word from the outside that Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall), the billionaire creator of the Game, has no intentions of letting him survive. With help from a team of mercenaries led by Ludacris, Kable breaks free of the game to be with his wife and daughter whose lives are controlled by Castle's influence. Kable must fight to stop the technological take-over and free his family.
In a way, Gamer is a solid mix of The Running Man (more so the book by Stephen King than the movie) , Gladiator, and even Death Race, with a solid dose of amped-up adrenaline that never lets up, not even for a minute, until the very end. While Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Running Man fell short of its potential, Neveldine / Taylor and Butler reach new heights in terms of visuals and stylized action, multi-dimensional characters, and a nightmarish look at the future that doesn't feel too far off.
Neveldine / Taylor create a number of set pieces that differ in their visual style and overall feel. The Game itself is a world rich in shades of grey, like the middle of a war zone. In contrast, the prison scenes are blinding in its extreme whites and dark blacks. The other reality game in the movie is called "Society", a live-action SIM CITY-like game is the complete opposite of "Slayers" in terms of both its visual palate, bright and vibrant colors like you're in the middle of a Fanta commercial, and game-play like an ecstasy-filled playground for adults. And the real world? It's as normal, bland, and "real" as Neveldine / Taylor can make it.
The idea that video games from SIM CITY and CALL OF DUTY, the internet, and reality TV are taking control of our lives at a fast and furious pace is disturbing and explored in Gamer. Just how far connected to technology can society get before we turn into drones and not human at all? Throw in the aspect of nanotechnology, and you have a cinematic statement against our growing dependence on technology. But don't take it too seriously. After all this is an extreme action movie, filled with enough gun fights, fist fights, car chases, explosions, murder, mayhem, blood-splatter, and sex-fueled eye candy to entertain every action fan in existence.
Latest Entertainment Videos
Gerald Butler is quickly becoming the action hero of today's generation, captivating audiences in 2006 with 300, and holding strong in Gamer, delivering a performance of sheer masculine brutality and testosterone, with dash of just the right amount of emotion to bring more than one dimension to the table. Michael C. Hall shows us he's more than just Dexter, his portrayal as the evil corporate mega-giant is both likable and despicable, the perfect kind of villain for a flick like this.
Neveldine / Taylor showed us what they can do in terms of delivering an entertaining and adrenaline-fueled action movie with Crank and Crank 2. Gamer fits the bill of what you'd expect from these two, but it's a more mature effort in terms of story, performances, and action-sequences. The nightmarish view of the future and our over-dependence on technology is engrossing, and the action violence that starts the film off with a bang never lets go (not even for a moment) until the very end. Gamer is thrilling, exciting, and most importantly, it's entertaining and the perfect example of movie-going escapism. While there were a few moments that didn't pass the logic test, and a few characters didn't have proper closure, Gamer hit all the marks of what a movie like this is supposed to provide: pure unadulterated entertainment. If you're looking for a good time, give Gamer some love. You won't be disappointed.

Almost everyone doing family history research is helped by genealogists who have contributed their family trees or transcribed and posted family information online. Or volunteered to do look ups or answer questions on discussion groups.
One of the first helpful transcriptions that I found was the obituary of my third great-grandfather Nicholas Boie who came to Wisconsin in 1854 from Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, with wife Cecilia and young daughter Elise. With one obituary, a wealth of family detail was discovered.
In turn, it is important to give back and contribute resources in ways that work for you. Here are some materials I have donated to the Calumet County, Wisconsin, genealogy site, the same site that has the Boie obituary:
Obituaries – New Holstein, Wisconsin
Ferdinand Hachez, son of Ferdinand and Louise Hachez, husband of Elise Boie, father of many children including Clara
Clara Hachez Luehr, daughter of Ferdinand Hachez and Elise Boie Hachez, wife of William Henry Luehr, mother of Lucille Marguerite and Robert William Luehr
Mathilde Agnes "Tillie" Boie Sebelein, younger sister of Elise Boie Hachez and wife of Charles Sebelein
John August Hansen, husband of Lena Boie, sister to Elise Boie Hachez and Tillie Boie Sebelein
Anna Margretha Groth Luehr, wife of John Nicholas Luehr, mother of four sons: John, William Henry, Edward and Arthur
John Claudius Luehr, son of John Nicholas Luehr and Anna Groth Luehr, husband of Wilhelmina Kroehnke, father of three
William Henry Luehr, son of John Nicholas Luehr and Anna Groth Luehr, husband of Clara Hachez Luehr, father of Lucille Marguerite and Robert William Luehr.
Dr. Edward Luehr, son of John Nicholas Luehr and Anna Groth Luehr, husband of Louisa Holdenreid, father of two
Lydia Luehr, daugher of John Claudius and Wilhelmina Kroehnke Luehr
These are posted in the Obituaries section of the Calumet County, Wisconsin, Genealogy and History site.
Biographies – New Holstein, Wisconsin
William Henry Luehr, Wisconsin journalist, publisher, educator, principal and state government official.
This biography is posted on the Calumet County, Wisconsin, Genealogy and History site.
I also created a New Holstein genealogy and history guide on the Web that is filled with names of early pioneers and links to family and history resources.
Obituaries – Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin
Here are three obituaries I have donated to the genealogy site for Sheboygan County, which is east of Calumet County:
Lucille Marguerite Luehr Conger, daughter of William Henry Luehr and Clara Hachez Luehr, wife of Howard Dale Conger, mother of a son and a daughter
Howard Dale Conger, son of Robert Owen Conger and Eda Dell Morey Conger, husband of Lucille Marguerite Luehr Conger, father of a son and a daughter
Mary Schneider Bradley, daughter of Fred and Elisabeth Schneider of Plymouth, and second wife of Sherman A. Bradley of Milwaukee

When a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit japan in 2011, the effects were felt by over a million expatriates worldwide.
In recent years, several international-comparative studies have analyzed the relationship between migration and native populations' decreasing support for redistributive policies. However, these studies use cross-sectional designs and aggregate the number of foreign-born residents at the national level. Both aspects are theoretically and methodologically problematic. We address these shortcomings by investigating cross-sectional as well as longitudinal effects in the case of Germany, using a combination of individual- and regional-level data for several time points from 1994 to 2010.
In this article, I explore different forms of perceived threat posed by the presence of minority groups and how threat impacts residential segregation and neighborhood preferences. I extend previous research by exploring non-Hispanic white residents' preferences regarding black and Latino neighbors using qualitative data from in-depth interviews with white adults conducted in multiple neighborhoods in Buffalo, New York, and Ogden, Utah. My findings suggest that white residents perceive threat differently for blacks and Latinos.
A growing number of U.S. states have adopted "millionaire taxes" on top income-earners. This increases the progressivity of state tax systems, but it raises concerns about tax flight: elites migrating from high-tax to low-tax states, draining state revenues, and undermining redistributive social policies. Are top income-earners "transitory millionaires" searching for lower-tax places to live? Or are they "embedded elites" who are reluctant to migrate away from places where they have been highly successful?

Chenoa A. Flippen reviews The Cross-Border Connection: Immigrants, Emigrants, and Their Homelands, by Roger Waldinger. C
Contemporary debates on the relationship between migration and development focus extensively on how migrant remittances affect the economies of sending countries. Yet remittances also produce dynamic political consequences in migrants' origin communities. Income earned abroad creates political opportunities for migrant groups to participate in the provision of public services in their hometowns.

Abstract and Keywords
The ally model of social justice is a philosophical approach that is congruent with social work's values and emphasis on social justice and human rights. Using concepts from multiple identities and social justice, it directs those with privilege to act on behalf of those without privilege who belong to a different social group. It is developmental in nature and contains an extensive list of specific ally characteristics that inform social workers at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and system levels. Despites its limitations, the ally model of social justice is instructive for all social workers regardless of setting as they continue the profession's mission to eliminate social injustice.
Keywords: advocacy, ally characteristics, developmental, diversity, multiple social identities, social justice, social identity, oppression, privilege

Doing just mysteries, minus the serialized plot, I don't think most of those segments of the fanbase (more power to them) would really care.
This is correct. To say that most people who follow DC do so for the BO plot is to project the interests of the international (specifically the Western) fanbase onto the Japanese one. It's hard to appreciate for people who live outside of Japan, but DC really is a (pop) cultural institution there, the kind of staple of television that families can sit around and watch at random without necessarily being fluent with the broader storyline (akin to Doctor Who in Britain). The movie franchise officially achieved blockbuster status with The Darkest Nightmare, and between it, the anime, the manga, the merchandise, and cultural influence, DC is almost its own industry. Everyone knows DC, even if they don't watch it or follow it, just like everyone knows about the Simpsons (to borrow your example) even if they've never watched a single episode. I don't think it's far-fetched at all to suggest that most people who watch Japan in DC do so casually, just to enjoy a good mystery. The BO aspect is the least essential part of DC's domestic success, which not coincidentally is why Gosho can get away with doing BO cases so rarely. Whether or not the BO is important to DC's international success is a different discussion, but the point stands.
I think you can argue that Gosho's writing has stagnated without presuming purely monetary motives.doesn't care to do his best unless he feels that ok isn't enough for sales.
I think this alludes to an interesting point, which is that many current fan's dissatisfaction with DC, including your's, Antiyonder, stems from the fact that it has demonstrated that it can and has been more than just an episodic mystery series with fun characters. For all that I just went on about how the BO plot isn't crucial to DC's appeal back at home, I do think that stuff like the BO plot line and various developmental arcs undergone by characters does elevate DC quality-wise and entertainment-wise above many other mystery shows, and among the Western fanbase it is definitely the reason that many fans are still on board. (And it's part of the reason you see so much interesting discussion and disagreement between DC fans in particular; aside from a consensus that everything up to the end of the Vermouth arc was basically perfect or at least very good, we can't seem to agree on what makes DC still worth following, whether it's the romance, the plot, the mysteries, the character dynamics, etc.). Just look at this forum: discussion of characters and of the BO plot far, far outstrips any sustained discussion of the cases, which are, whether we like it or not, the core of this mystery series and to what Gosho dedicates the majority of his brainpower.Plus, The Simpsons, which started much sooner and more simplistic never even promised more than clever comedy and is still on the air.
The incongruence of (a subset of) the fandom's interests and Gosho's focus has created this curious phenomenon where fans determine the quality a mystery series on the basis of...well, everything besides its (case) mysteries. The majority of Gosho's work is essentially ignored in favor of what other people find compelling, which would not have happened if the series hadn't attracted people not necessarily super interested in the day-to-day cases in the first place (a testament to the initial quality of DC's myriad other elements). If the intellectual puzzles compelled not just because of their intrinsic design but of how they related to the characters and the overall plot, then it makes sense that a decrease in the quality of the latter two would leave people frustrated and uninterested in the former, no matter how technically well-written. Mind you, I'm very sympathetic to that perspective, and I myself, while still loving most of DC's cases just for their intellectual value, do find them enhanced when Gosho manages to ground them in thematic statements and character moments; it deepens the emotional resonance of what might otherwise be dry puzzlebox mechanics and as such allows the cases that fall short to shine regardless (personally, part of the reason I could never get into Kindaichi despite its sometimes brilliant mysteries was its utterly bland characters and lack of alternate sources of investment). But even with that said, I do find it genuinely odd how little attention is sometimes paid to the episodic cases themselves, which are probably the strongest thing in modern DC, though like everything else there has been a decline. To deny the detective aspects of of a detective series would be to deprive yourself of a pretty major source of the series' entertainment.
But I agree that Gosho once did a better job of juggling the multiple components of his series, and when they were all in sync he could produce magic like Desperate Revival (and really the entirety of the Vermouth arc). He still can; it just occurs much more rarely now. What we're seeing really is an inevitable result of overstretched length, of DC becoming a victim of its own success. DC today is not produced by the same mind of DR, of the 12 Million Hostages, of Black Impact, heck even of Clash of Red and Black. Gosho's been worn down by age and routine. He's no longer the magician who can tell emotionally rivetingly and narratively thrilling stories while still hiding that the status quo hasn't really been altered at all; his strings are more visible and his sleight-of-hands less graceful. But I don't believe, like some might, that Gosho has become a cynical money-grabber content to produce mediocrity as long as the bucks keep rolling in. He doesn't need the money, and being mangaka is brutal work. More importantly, he's still demonstrated a willingness to do new and fun things in his cases, even in recent years--like telling the cbar case from Kogoro's perspective-- and sometimes even subverting his own tropes (the alibi-locked-room that wasn't in the coffee aroma case, the outside culprit in the Red Woman case, the lack of a culprit in the Code of Love case, etc). Those cases see Gosho exploiting the audience's familiarity with his particular tropes to mislead and surprise them. Beyond that, Gosho still writes a healthy variety of case types and works to produce different scenarios to keep things interesting. And, sometimes, Gosho still manages to craft compelling character-based dramas within the framework of a traditional mystery, as in Sera's second case.
I think the problem, aside from Gosho understandably struggling to keep up the acrobatic act that he managed for the first 15 years or so, is two-fold: routine and popularity. Gosho has been doing this for so long that I think he sometimes slips into auto-pilot. There will be times, when you have been doing something for so long, that your mind simply dulls. For us, standing outside of brutal work schedules and not immersed in the same world for 22 years of our lives, coming up with fresh possibilities and innovative turns without irrevocably damaging the status quo is simply much easier. There will be times when Gosho is not inspired, and I think there are times when he feels tired of the series; his one-shot Tell Me a Lie, his breaks to work on MK, and his fantasizing in interviews about writing historical manga indicate to me a man who sometimes needs to get out of a Conan headspace. The problem, sadly, might be that Gosho doesn't actually remember how to do that. His recent MK work has essentially been DC MK-style, despite the narrative possibilities and structural freedom that MK's particular internal logic and characters provides him. He still writes it like a traditional three-part DC story. Gosho still gets inspired sometimes, but it seems to occur more in the realm of his cases. Then there is the second problem, the one that necessitates the status quo in the first place: DC's ridiculous popularity. The status quo is necessary to preserve its accessibility to the general audiences who watch it episodically and who go to the movies. You're probably right that there are ways to introduce major changes (like Ran discovering Conan's identity) that still retain the formula while injecting it with a fresh dose of possibilities offered by the altered character dynamics, but you might be assuming that Gosho has complete creative control over his work. DC has grown way beyond just Gosho. Story decisions that he makes have an impact on things beyond just his manga, and when you're in the middle of that web radical transformations can be difficult. This wasn't such a problem in the past because, again, like you said, Gosho was once capable of producing great storytelling even while preserving the status quo.
I think he's still plenty interested in the characterization half, he just does less of it. Super unpopular opinion around these parts, but I think Bourbon is a great character with an interesting arc and the perfect foil to Akai. Vermouth's struggle to keep the only two people she cares about out of trouble has bene highlighted and foregrounded by virtue of Bourbon's arc. Akai's transition to Okiya doubled both as mystery and a redemption arc for the character, done counter-intuitively through his domestication (really I feel this character choice on Gosho's part--for a cool FBI agent--doesn't get enough appreciation). Gosho's problem is more that he's allowed his main characters to stagnate at the cost of shifting the spotlight to other, newer people. This is, again, in part a product of the series unhealthy length. Haibara had a fantastic arc of growing from a cold, cynical, suicidal paranoiac to someone who has discovered new meaning in life and gotten a second chance at a childhood she never had, but at this point her arc's basically over and there isn't much left to do with her outside of comedy. Conan had an arc of learning humility and crafting the close bonds Shinichi didn't have, but that could only last so long and has even been somewhat undermined by some events in the Bourbon and Rum arc. Gosho wrenched a lot of great drama and comedy out of Shinichi's predicament, but even that well, one of the things that most distinguished Conan from its mystery contemporaries, has begun to run dry. Perhaps this problem of stagnation can be resolved if we'd just do away with the status quo entirely, but that brings us back to the problem of its existence to sustain the DC industry. Sometimes Gosho finds new means through which to explore his long-existing characters (like Ran and Sera's conflict in the detective agency hostage case), but they no longer occur with the frequency they once did.I say this because if he was really interested in the characterization half
All that being said, as I've expressed in the past, I do believe the status quo is slowly raveling, but so slowly it's barely perceptible. But it's definitely there. And to address your main area of focus, Antiyonder, I think the folks over at the Red Thread page have put together a persuasive argument as to how we're building towards a climactic Ran suspicion arc. But like everything else, it's paced excruciatingly slowly, at this point somewhat ludicrously (Ran's growing suspicions have been hinted at for at least a decade now). We are working to a conclusion, even if we're moving so slowly it feels like we're running in place. And I know that's a scant comfort to many, and I wish things were different. But as I said, DC has become a victim of its own success. Considering its length, I appreciate that Gosho has managed to keep it a good series for as long as he has, even if it no longer scales the heights it once did. I only hope it concludes before it goes the way of Naruto or Bleach.

ATTRACTION ABOUNDS At top, the 4th Floor Maker space with its 3-D printing lab was a highlight of the night at the 2013
Tennessee Library Association annual conference held in the library space; the Labrary storefront (bottom) likewise attracted passers-by into its experimental area to see how future library design might look.

In size, community, resources, and mission, the Harvard University Library and the Chattanooga Public Library (CPL) could not be much further apart. While a reader might anticipate our library experiments would be similarly divergent, we found essential similarities emerged from beneath their differences.
The 4th Floor of the Chattanooga Public Library is a 14,000 square foot attic space in a concrete brutalist building constructed in 1976. As of July 2012, the space was filled from floor to ceiling with junk: discarded furniture, books, craft projects, and more—the space was an ocean of refuse. The vision to revive this dead zone as a creative space began with Director Corinne Hill and Assistant Director Nate Hill (no relation), but in recent months the space has shifted to become the laboratory and playground for the library's entire User Experience (UX) team. The UX team includes Meg Backus as the ILS administrator and chief Maker, Mary Barnett as the social media strategist and narrative specialist, and Dan Eveland as the web developer and programmer. As a group, this team gives the 4th Floor direction, so that it can operate smoothly as the community creative space it has become.
The Labrary was a design experiment collectively imagined, designed, and built by the 11 students and five staff from Library Test Kitchen (LTK), an advanced seminar in Harvard's Graduate School of Design (GSD). The seminar was co-run by professor Jeffrey Schnapp, faculty director of metaLAB and professor of romance languages and literature; Ann Whiteside, librarian/assistant dean for information resources at GSD; and Jeff Goldenson, designer in the Harvard Library Innovation Lab. Rounding out the teaching staff were two LTK alumni and recent graduates, Ben Brady and Jessica Yurkofsky.
Occupying a 1,000 square foot storefront in Harvard Square, Labrary was free and open to the public from November 15 through December 21, 2012, 11 a.m.−7 p.m. daily, Monday through Saturday; it was funded by the Harvard Library Laboratory on behalf of the Arcadia Foundation.
The 4th Floor grew from within the Chattanooga Public Library itself, the transformation of an overcrowded storage space into a vibrant community Maker space and event venue that's now a hot spot in town. The Labrary popped up under the scrutiny of the public eye in a vacant, commercial storefront, outside the Harvard Library altogether. Passers-by watched through the glass facade as it morphed from an empty retail space into a library environment for hosting talks, exhibiting student coursework, encouraging collaboration and creativity, and gathering data from visitors about their thoughts on libraries. (See sidebar at right for background on the two experiment spaces.)
The evolution of these spaces followed different trajectories and time frames, but our shared observations about the state of libraries, information, and culture formed common guiding principles. We believe the library of the last century is the library of consumption, an institution that reflects the broadcast era of media, the place where you watch, read, and listen passively from an armchair. The library of this century is the place where new social relationships are forged and knowledge is created, explored, and shared.
The library of this century has "beta space" like the 4th Floor and Labrary—environments within a larger library ecosystem created to prototype and deploy new ventures. At CPL, the 4th Floor is not meant to transform just library space and activities; it is also intended to transform the library's organizational culture. The plan is to develop new services in the 4th Floor and implement them in other library departments. One example would be our experiment with 3-D printing technologies. We anticipate they will be a hit in youth services, but we are refining our service delivery model on the 4th Floor first so we can roll out change with less disruption and a lower rate of failure.
Meanwhile, the goal of the Library Test Kitchen (LTK), the class driving the Labrary, is to research, imagine, and build new library products, experiences, and services. Labrary was our beta space in which to deploy student innovations in public to determine which warranted further development. Also, by virtue of being a class located outside any formal library building, projects could remain truly exploratory, often generating more questions than answers. Some student work suited libraries perfectly, others a science museum or futuristic information garden.
Atop our shared belief in the importance of a culture open to experimentation, three common themes emerged within our beta spaces, themes that bridge the academic and public library divide:
These themes correspond closely to both David Weinberger's "Library as Platform" and David Lankes's "Library as Conversation" concepts as they position the library not as merely providing resources, full-stop. Rather, they point toward creating environments that leverage these resources to enable the lively, networked, conversational development of knowledge.
Real-time knowledge creation
CPL's 4th Floor has hosted a number of events and experiments that have spurred impressive ongoing efforts. For example, partnering with groups like AIGA, the professional organization for design, and a business incubator called CO.LAB has allowed the 4th Floor to bring to the library incredible events that have lured people in who had forgotten the building was even there. Two highlights stand out in particular:
Makerday On March 16, we partnered with business incubator CO.LAB, Chatt*Lab, and quite a few other sponsors and exhibitors for Makerday: 3D Throwdown, an expo introducing 3-D printing technology to the city of Chattanooga. Over the course of the day, a record-setting 1,200 people, ranging from babies to senior citizens, visited the 4th Floor to see everything from hobbyist machines to large-scale industrial models, 3D scanners, and an experimental 3-D videoconferencing system using MS Kinect cameras from Engage 3D. The event established the 4th Floor as the gateway Maker space in the emerging Chattanooga Maker ecosystem. It offers Makerbot access to anyone with a library card and a place to come together to build, tinker, design, and test.
CREATIVE CITIZENSHIP Months before local elections, a group of politically engaged Chattanoogans came together to start a programming series around the topic of creative citizenship. The immediate goal was to get Chattanooga's creative community of artists, designers, developers, and others to feel like empowered stakeholders in the future of the community. Creative Citizenship held two noteworthy events on the 4th Floor: a collaboration with AIGA that featured Daniel Ryan and Josh Higgins, the lead developer and the lead designer on the Obama 2012 presidential campaign, and a city council candidate forum, which brought Chattanooga's future leadership into the library and onto the 4th Floor.
In the academic context, Labrary carved out its own take on events programming. As the public face to a major university library, Labrary had the Harvard and surrounding scholarly community from which to draw. Researchers and professors from around the Harvard and MIT campuses spoke in our casual, open setting to both students and Cambridge community members alike. Situated outside the university gates, Labrary's street level, easy-in, easy-out atmosphere fostered a uniquely diverse dialog.
Design for experimentation
Visitors often remarked that though Labrary didn't feel like a library, they liked the vibe. There were several reasons for this, but three in particular set Labrary apart from a traditional library in the service of our experimental mission. Labrary was a branded, raw, and widely experiential space.
Branded Libraries often lack resources to put toward a visual identity. This reinforces dated stereotypes and communicates a lack of "visual" and "design" literacies. LTK students Arielle Assouline-Lichten and Gabrielle Patawaran designed Labrary's visual identity; they gave Labrary a voice. It was savvy, friendly, and playful, and, most important, it was recognizable.
While nobody really knew what we were, there was never a question of who—we were Labrary. The tightness of the brand contained the looseness of our exploration. (Download and remix our identity for free)
Raw Libraries tend to be high-polish, monumental environments designed to impress. They're not spaces that say "try things." Labrary, on the other hand, was no-polish. The plywood tables were left unfinished, giving them a workbench feel; the walls needed a new coat of paint. These unfinished details granted visitors permission to get their hands—and the space around them—dirty.
Widely experiential A sign on a table at the entrance to the Labrary requested that visitors describe the future of "the library." Responses were jotted on Post-it notes and stuck to the table. If there was a theme, it was no size fits all. One Post-it read, "cones of silence," another, "cones of chaos."
Libraries pride themselves on the breadth of their collections; perhaps the same principle should be applied to the environment as well. The library could look at its spaces as collections on their own: a library with as many designers as authors.
The 4th Floor is a similarly branded, raw environment that maintains an extremely flexible and responsive nature. In many ways the 4th Floor can be framed as a stage, a dynamically reprogrammable space to accommodate the needs and wants of the community. Likewise, our design and fabrication practices follow the language of set design, populating the space with movable elements, partitions, and powerful, high-impact digital projection tools.
INFORMATIVE SPACE At top, 4th Floor's Creative Citizenship event was a big success in terms of political engagement. The Labrary featured Graham Grams (bottom) by Rola Idris and Pablo Roquero, a graham cracker and icing printer, part of a larger exploration into information permanence. 4th Floor photo by Mary Barnett; Labrary photo by Rola Idris
Community-driven innovation
The success and development of the 4th Floor is linked directly to strong strategic partnerships with other entities operating in Chattanooga's ecosystem of design, technology, art, and education institutions. A top-down service design process dictated solely by the library would fail; it has been clear from the beginning that to be successful the 4th Floor must harness the expertise and commitment of the community to design its own services.
The LTK seminar was founded on a similarly bottom-up belief. LTK was established to grant academic credit to those Harvard students inspired to help invent their library's future. The Labrary popped up as a beta space to test their creations with the general public.
Looking ahead
The library for consumption was configured to create access to information in different formats and containers. Looking ahead, the library for experimentation, curiosity, and production must provide access to new tools, experiences, and opportunities for knowledge creation and exploration. No matter what these tools and services look like in the years ahead, our interaction with them will happen in physical space—in public, side by side, and perhaps in conversation.
Beyond that, we don't need to know much more, we just need to take the leap and allocate the real estate where it can happen. As we've learned from our beta spaces, the risk of creating unprogrammed space has been rewarded with new programming and new uses of the environment that we could never have expected when we began.

Welcome back, friends, to your weekend edition of The Hugh! Seems like the big storyline in this week's early slate of games is whether or not Charlie Weis is going to still be employed at Notre Dame if he loses to Navy (currently tied at 7) or if he'll be another soul left jobless in this struggling economy. When you think about it, that line of thinking doesn't make a whole lot of sense - if the ND head honchos are really looking towards Navy as some kind of "test", isn't that proof enough he should be canned? - so don't expect Weis to go anywhere. Except the Sizzler for their Steak & Steak Combos! Delicious! Let's get you caught up elsewhere in the land of collegiate pigskin. Not a whole lot happening yet. Penn State is knotted up at 7s with Indiana, Michigan is up 14-7 against Northwestern, Ohio State is trouncing the Illini, Texas has a 7-0 lead over Kansas, and Auburn has a 6-0 lead over Georgia in your upset special. But enough of me, what about HUGH? "Question of the day: are Charlie Weis' steel-belted trousers strong enough to withstand America's military might?" - FiddlingWhileJimRomeBurns "The sound in the Michigan/Northwestern game just went out, proving that even God is tired of listening to Pam Ward." - JWaldman11 "I can't wait until the BCS is reorganized into the Obama Bowl." - greenmightymoose "Pam Ward gets another Northwestern game. Makes me wonder if she's blowing the.....ah who am I kidding, there are no lesbian ADs." - drscooter19 "The Big 11 has a commercial in which they brag about Michael Wilbon. I'm speechless." - MrRedDevil4Ever And since we started with Big Charlie, let's close out with him as well: "Over/Under on crabcakes buried in Charlie Weis' sweatshirt: 42." - commenter "Chad Sexington" Well done, folks. Keep 'em coming.

"Gamer Chicks" - Take Two!
by, 01-23-2010 at 08:33 PM (5448 Views)
Someone who commented on my last entry the typical stereotypical role-player: acne-ridden teenager, maintaining the opinion that as a "gamer chick" I was seen as something gamers are not. It would be seen as me "getting in bed with those who are the stereotype."
Is it justified that gamers have to be acne-ridden teenagers or middle-aged men who still live in their mother's basements and play WoW or D&D all day? Why can't a somewhat successful woman or girl with a passion for writing and fantasy get the same sort of accolades? Are women gamers that rare?
I personally might not "go to bed with" said stereotypical gamer, but I have been role playing for close to twenty years in one form or another, and writing since I was 10. I'm not the greatest writer, nor am I the world's worst...but I am entitled to a fair shake when it comes to being on equal footing with the gaming world. Women can be knowledgeable about table top games and other things related to video games.
I've never actually considered developing a game of my own, but it seems to me that there haven't been many female game developers out there. I mean, the first sort of female superhero I had seen was Wonder Woman, but I'm sure it was a male that had written about her. When I have more spare time on my hands, I plan to write a novel...though I might think about writing a gaming system instead. All I need is a bit of pixie dust...for inspiration...the magical dust, not the sugary treat.
It's not a matter of being female, it should only be a matter of being knowledgeable or even willing to learn everything there is to know about a certain system and having a good time with it. I've seen and heard a lot of people nitpick about editions and debate about different gaming systems. Play what you prefer to play and don't knock other systems. They have a quality that appeals to some people and not others. That's the way it goes.
Do we all like the same foods? No. I, myself, love mushrooms on pizza, in soup and even raw with dip. Would someone else feel the same way about mushrooms? No...but I certainly don't debate it to the point of shoving a mushroom down their throat so they could see what I'm talking about.
It's fine to have different opinions about gaming systems and you can downright hate something so much it makes you sick, but what really ticks me off is when people are so stubborn they don't see the other person's reasoning behind liking the food or gaming system. You don't have to be rude about it, just politely give them an, "I'm sorry it's just not my style." and move on.
*takes a few deep breaths* /end rant.
I'm done for now but I will be back with more...when the spirit moves me.

You are here
Washington, D.C. --- Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced the offer of a $102.2 million conditional commitment for a loan guarantee to U.S. Geothermal, Inc. to construct a 22 megawatt geothermal power project in Malheur County, in southeastern Oregon. U.S. Geothermal estimates that the planned project will create 150 jobs during the 20-month construction period and employ 10 skilled full-time workers when it begins operating in 2012.
The project will use an improved technology to extract energy from rock and fluids in the earth's crust more efficiently. The technology, referred to as a supercritical binary geothermal cycle, is estimated to be more efficient than traditional geothermal binary systems, allowing lower-temperature geothermal resources to be used for power generation.
"Our nation needs to transition to cleaner energy sources, and supporting innovative projects and new technologies like this is an important part of the equation," said Secretary Chu. "This project will create jobs while providing clean, baseload energy to help power America's homes," said Chu.
"With U.S. Geothermal, Inc., Oregon will be home to another renewable energy company that is not only producing green power to meet current and future energy demands but it is also an innovator within the geothermal industry," said Governor Kulongoski. "We welcome Geothermal, Inc. to Malheur County as a part of eastern Oregon's growing renewable energy economy."
"There is tremendous potential for renewable geothermal energy and the jobs for Oregon that come with it," said Senator Ron Wyden. "The announcement today helps make commercial development of geothermal energy in Malheur County a reality. This is good news for Oregon and the environment."
In typical binary geothermal power projects, hot water is drawn from wells as deep as 4,500-6,000 feet below the Earth's surface. The water's thermal energy is used to heat a secondary fluid that is vaporized and then forced through a turbine to generate electricity. U.S. Geothermal's supercritical binary geothermal cycle is more efficient than other systems in extracting heat from the hot water which directly increases the output of the power plant. As a result, more energy can be extracted from existing sites in addition to new sites that previously would not have been considered for geothermal projects.
One hundred percent of the project's output will be sold to Idaho Power Company under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). With the 25-year PPA in place, the project is well-positioned to accommodate anticipated population growth and renewable energy demand in the region. About 95 percent of the power plant's infrastructure and parts are expected to be supplied by U.S.-based manufacturers, according to the company.
Including the conditional commitment announced today, the Department has issued conditional commitments for loan guarantees to support ten clean energy projects. This conditional commitment is another step toward making the United States a worldwide leader in the manufacture and deployment of clean-energy technology. For more information, please visit the Loan Guarantee Program website.

Luke 2:22-38 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
Jesus Is Presented in the Temple
22 When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord"), 24 and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, "a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons."
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon;[a] this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Messiah.[b] 27 Guided by the Spirit, Simeon[c] came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, 28 Simeon[d] took him in his arms and praised God, saying,
29 "Master, now you are dismissing your servant[e] in peace,
33 And the child's father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. 34 Then Simeon[f] blessed them and said to his mother Mary, "This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed 35 so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your own soul too."
36 There was also a prophet, Anna[g] the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped there with fasting and prayer night and day. 38 At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child[h] to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

COLLEGE PARK, MD. – Head coach John Tillman, senior goalie Niko Amato and freshman attackman Connor Cannizzaro were among the recipients of the annual ACC men's lacrosse individual awards, the conference announced Thursday.
Tillman was selected as the ACC Coach of the Year, while Amato and Cannizzaro were named the Defensive Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year, respectively.
Tillman earns his first ACC Coach of the Year honor after guiding the Terrapins to a 10-3 overall record, including a 4-1 mark in conference play, which earned Maryland the 2014 ACC Regular Season championship. Tillman, who is in his fourth season at the helm of the Maryland program, is the third Terrapin head coach to earn the honor, joining Dick Edell, who won the award in 1989, 1992 and 1998, and Dave Cottle, who won the award in 2004 and 2008.
Amato, who is the first goalie in the history of the ACC to be named to the All-ACC squad four times, becomes the second Terp to win the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award in just the third season of the award's existence. The native of Conshohocken, Pa., leads the conference with a 7.27 goals-against average, which is nearly a full goal less than the second-place goalie. He is also tops in the conference with a .573 save percentage. A three-time ACC Defensive Player of the Week honoree this season, Amato was at his best in conference games and had a 7.80 goals-against average with a .585 save percentage in the five regular season conference games. His standout performance of the season came in the Terps' 10-6 victory over then-No. 1 Duke on March 1 when he recorded a season-best 17 saves, which is the most by an ACC goalie this year.
Cannizzaro becomes the eighth Terrapin to earn the ACC Freshman of the Year award and is the first Maryland attackman to win the award since Joe Walters in 2003. The native of Cazenovia, N.Y., was solid throughout the season for the Terps, ranking third on the team with 25 points and is tied for third with 19 goals. But Cannizzaro excelled in ACC games this season and ranks 10th in the conference in points per game (2.80) and goals per game (2.0). He scored three goals and added an assist in the Terps' 16-8 win at Syracuse on Feb. 22 and matched that performance with three goals and an assist in Maryland's 12-8 win at Notre Dame on April 19. He also had two goals and an assist in each of the Terps' games vs. Virginia and North Carolina.
Duke senior attackman Jordan Wolf was named the ACC Offensive Player of the Year.
Maryland closes out its regular season vs. Navy on Saturday, May 3 at 1 p.m. at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.

Frictionless damper
Developed for defense and aerospace applications, this hydraulic damper exhibits internal friction less than 2% of rated load. The design uses labyrinth seals between the shaft and cylinder that interfere minimally with shaft motion. Fluid that leaks past the seals is contained in metallic bellows at either end of the cylinder, and this excess fluid returns to the opposite side of the cylinder through a bore within the shaft.
The damper also features variable response depending on shaft velocity. A spring-loaded valve on the shaft piston opens at a predetermined velocity relieving excess pressure and preventing damage. Their inherent safety may make the dampers attractive in applications where replacement may be difficult or expensive.

Flexible fixture
Visit any manufacturer of electronic components and you'll find assemblers or re-workers struggling to solder multi-pin connectors. This simple fixture ends the gymnastics. A draw-bar collet headstock holds the wire while a snap-fitting tailstock holds the multi-pin terminal. A single geared shaft coupled to the headstock and tailstock rotates them synchronously, simplifying assembly operations.

Free-rail railroads
Although the current scheme of continuously welded tracks improves rail-travel smoothness, it requires ongoing maintenance to repair the ravages of temperature changes and imperfect alignment. Laying discontinuous sets of alternating-gauge tracks for cars with twin pairs of wheels would eliminate those problems and may help to accelerate the current economic and ecologic trend back to rail travel.
The inventor of this arrangement estimates that modifications to existing cars should come to a fraction of their initial cost. The design will speed operations between roads with differing gauges, a common occurrence outside the U.S. The patent is available for license.

Smart tags
Electronic "embedded fingerprints" developed for keeping track of nuclear missiles may soon facilitate warehouse and point-of-sale inventory control. Unlike read-only RF ID systems, the tags currently under development by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory could be programmed with lot data by a manufacturer and inserted into items or containers for later reading by warehouse personnel or retailers.
The needle-sized tags contain an RF-coil, capacitor, and custom IC. Radio-frequency energy emitted by a portable reader and collected by the coil charges the capacitor, enabling IC reading or writing.

Insulative cushion
An extruded-urethane core surrounded by an elastomeric cover produces a low-cost shock-absorbing shell. V-shaped elements within the shell provide resilient support while encapsulating insulating air. Initial applications for the Sigma cushion include bathtub mats or liners that may help prevent thousands of injuries yearly. As a bonus, the cushion reduces water-temperature loss in a typical tub to 4F/hr. Tough and re-usable, the cushion may have other applications in load and shock isolation.

Senator calls State Dept. failures a "dereliction of duty"
Steve Watson
May 8, 2013
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has said that Hillary Clinton should never be allowed to hold another public office ever again following the failures and subsequent response surrounding the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi.
As hearings into the September 2012 attack begin in Washington DC today, video has emerged of the Kentucky Senator laying into Clinton and calling her failures "inexcusable" in a speech before the Missouri Republican Party.
"I think her dereliction of duty and her lack of leadership should preclude her from holding any office," Paul said before a thunderous ovation.
"I don't think she should read every cable. Maybe from Estonia and Bulgaria an assistant should read it. But from one of the five most dangerous countries in the world, there's no excuse for her not reading the cables," Paul added.
The Senator was following up on comments he addressed to Clinton during a Senate Foreign Affairs Committee hearing earlier this year when he said that he would have fired her over Benghazi if he were president, because she failed to read communications requesting additional help and security in Libya.
At the hearing in January Clinton claimed that "That cable did not come to my attention."
Watch the video:
As this report goes live, Greg Hicks, the number two to murdered US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, is set to testify that US Special forces personnel were ordered to stand down as the attack on the US embassy in Libya was taking place on September 11, 2012.
The scandal may de-rail the momentum that has been building around Hillary Clinton for a potential 2016 run.
In recent weeks Clinton has been cited as leading several polls of potential 2016 presidential candidates. She has even been tacitly endorsed by the elites at lavish gatherings.
That may all change today however.
"I think the dam is about to break on Benghazi. We're going to find a system failure before, during, and after the attacks," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) wrote on his Facebook page Tuesday. "We're going to find political manipulation seven weeks before an election. We're going to find people asleep at the switch when it comes to the State Department, including Hillary Clinton."
Fox News' James Rosen has also reported that the second whistleblower, senior official Mark Thompson, will testify on Wednesday that Clinton tried to cut the State Department's counterterrorism bureau out of the process during the attack. This has led to suggestions that a cover up was hatched to make it appear that the attack was a demonstration that had gotten out of hand, rather than a premeditated terrorist attack.
"Clinton's team denies the claim, but even in so doing, reaffirms her central role in the response and talking points about the attacks. No bystander was she." a leading Fox News report states today.
"I think it was political rather than security," Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the chairman of the Oversight subcommittee on National Security, told Fox News on Monday. "But what boggles my mind is four and a half months after the fact, Secretary Clinton still had the gall to come here and perpetuate [that] things that we know as common knowledge are simply not true."
Democrats are attempting to argue that Republicans are politicizing the issue in order to bring down Hillary Clinton's poll numbers and stave off a potential presidential campaign. Some have even gone as far to accuse the lawyers representing the Whistleblowers as having a political agenda.
Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly, a senior Democrat on the Oversight and Foreign Affairs panels told The Hill that "They both worked with and for, in some capacity, Mitt Romney. There's no law against that, but don't tell me that I'm supposed to accept with a straight face that they're just professional lawyers representing their clients…They are active Republicans who have partisan agendas, as they always have."

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Best Detroit Pizza' tag.
This installment of the Detroit Pizza Tour takes us to the charming near-Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe Woods….
Right there on Mack Avenue, near the Original Pancake House and right by a cute yarn shop, is the delightful storefront of DiNoto's Genuine Italian with a welcoming red awning.
When we entered Dinoto's we were confronted with a promising aroma and friendly service. A young woman was working the counter, answering our questions, when owner-operator Pino DiNoto emerged from the kitchen and insisted we sample one of his famous "S" cookies – a cakey, buttery sugar cookie with a delicate layer of frosting. His thick Italian accent immediately charmed us and gave an aura of authenticity to the pizzas we were about to sample.
We decided on two small pizza and a side order of cannelini beans and took a walk around the neighborhood while our pizzas were being prepared. To be clear, DiNoto's does carry out only. For some reason, even though I'd read some Yelp reviews before going, I was a little surprised to realize this, but it didn't really matter in the long run.
Our two pizzas were Pino's White Vegetable Pizza and the Sicilian Pizza. Pino's White vegetable pizza is described as "light and delicious – without sauce, topped with oven roasted veggies, olive oil, herbs and Romano cheese." This was Michael's favorite. It had tomato, onion, and thinly sliced yellow squash. Indeed light and garlicy. My only regret was that there was not more of a tang to it, to balance the flavors. I think had the tomatoes been in season this would have done the trick, but we all know fresh tomatoes this time of year aren't always the best tasting.
The Sicilian was my favorite, also very simple, with crushed tomatoes that had a serious depth (almost as if they were mixed with sun-dried tomatoes) and herbs, olive oil, garlic with a light sprinkling of Romano cheese. Tangy and delicious.
This isn't the Detroit pizza style with the thick crust, but a medium-to-thin crust, with an unobtrusive, delicate flavor that really highlights the toppings. Don't expect gobs of melted cheese, either. Just a slight dusting of Pecorino-Romano actually makes this pie a healthier option than some grease laden varieties we're accustomed to. We did happen to pick pizzas that were vegetarian, but mostly because there is a wide variety of vegetarian options that just looked so yummy and different. They also have a pie with prosciutto and arugula, the Gambino's Favorite, which is calling my name for another visit.
I read rave reviews about the meatball sub, so next time I go I will try a different kind of pizza, for some variety, and this highly recommended sandwich. Their menu also has some fantastic looking pasta dishes and salads. One thing is for sure, if I lived closer I would be making more trips to DiNoto's and probably buying too many of those delectable S cookies in the process.
Overall, the unique, authentic quality of the pizza combined with the quaint atmosphere and exceptionally welcoming service can't help but endear you to this place. I can see why DiNoto's is a favorite pizza stop for Detroiters. As it stands, my only regret was that I could not enjoy the pizza fresh from the oven with a nice glass of Chianti (this is the kind of pizza that screams for wine over beer!). Since we simply couldn't wait for the drive home to lose that hot-out-of-the-oven experience, we had to eat it in the car!

There are two things I never notice: pregnancy and wedding rings. You know how when you check someone out, there's an unconscious but not really list that gets ticked off? For me, it's always shoes, then hair, then skin, then I want to know about the body, how they look in those pants/skirt/dress, then I spend a few seconds judging the pants/skirt/dress, and at that point it's impolite to keep staring so I look away and fixate on someone else. It's never a priority to check for a bump or wedding band.
So thank you, so many of you, for pointing this out the other day after this post about Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson. They were wearing rings on those fingers at the airport. And last night, they were still wearing those rings at the premiere of Diane's new movie Unknown opposite Liam Neeson and January Jones. Trailer is below. I'm not really feeling it.
As for Diane and Joshua… are they married?
If they are, they certainly don't want to make it a thing. But she did also tell Glamour recently that:
"I was married very young [to French actor and director Guillaume Canet]. We were together seven years. Without sounding pessimistic, I learned that I don't believe in marriage. I believe in a commitment that you make in your heart. There's no paper that will make you stay. A guy friend of mine said, and it made a lot of sense, that people should get married at the end of the road, not the beginning." (Source)
I don't know…that sounds pretty definitive to me.
Can lovers wear rings without being officially married to denote their devotion to each other? She's publicly declared that she intends to be his partner for life on several occasions. What difference would it make to you if they had a ceremony for it? How would that titillate you on a gossip level? It's not like Hollywood marriages never end. It's interesting to me, this question. Not as a judgment but an observation – that people, particularly women, don't see these two, or others like them, as for real for real unless they're husband and wife. Strangely, in many ways, these two are, to me, more for real for real than a lot of celebrities who are actually married. Just me? Let me know what you think.

Charges filed in crash involving motorcycle group
Clinton Lovelace faces six felony charges
Charges have been filed against a Hilbert man accused of crossing the center line and striking 10 motorcyclists in Fond du Lac County, killing one.
Clinton Lovelace, 25, has been charged with second-degree reckless homicide, three counts of second-degree reckless injury, one count of reckless endangerment and a count of bail-jumping.
Authorities believe Lovelace crossed the center line while driving on Highway 151 in rural Fond du Lac County on Thursday.
According to the criminal complaint, Lovelace told sheriff's Lt. Rick Olig that he does not remember the crash and doesn't recall the car having any mechanical problems. He was driving his aunt's car, Olig confirmed.
Daniel Winsemius, 59, of Twin Lake, Mich., was killed in the crash. Eight others were injured, three of whom remain hospitalized with serious injuries.
Lovelace is being held in the Fond du Lac County jail.
